Chapter 39 Failure

Chapter 39 Failure
In fact, some nba players have the "crazy" personality trait.why do you say so?Because they will burst out from time to time in the game, commonly known as convulsions, not just shooting convulsions, but scoring various unreasonable goals.

This is exactly the case with Wade. Whitman hoped that the timeout at halftime would cool down Wade's fiery touch, but when the game entered the second half, Wade played even crazier.
At the beginning of the second half, Whitman arranged for Zheng Ke to rest on the bench. After all, Zheng Ke’s strength has not yet fully reached the starting level, and the Timberwolves cannot rely on defense alone to play the game. Gomans replaced Zheng Ke as one of the starting lineup in the second half.Wade didn't have Zheng Ke's candy-style defense, and Gomans's movement speed was definitely not as good as Zheng Ke's. Now he played more happily. He broke through Gosman's defense in a row and completed it twice in just one minute. Two plus one, and let Smith and Jefferson each add a foul.

But that's not all. On the defensive end, Smith found the opportunity to make an inside cut in the middle. He received a low pass from Jefferson and was about to dunk, but he didn't expect Wade to suddenly appear in front of him. Wade The timing of blocking the shot was very good. With one hand, he blocked the basketball that Smith was holding with both hands!

The rebound was taken by the Heat, the Heat launched a fast break, "White Chocolate" Jason Williams advanced to the frontcourt with the ball, but the Timberwolves retreated in time, Telfair and Gomez had already established their positions , McCants followed closely behind him, the Heat Jason Williams advanced in the middle, Haslem and Ricky Davis advanced on the left and right sides respectively
If it is an ordinary point guard who sees that there is no chance, he will definitely withdraw from the three-point line and reorganize the offense, but Jason Williams does not. Who is he?He was the famous "White Chocolate" back then. In terms of the gorgeousness of passing the ball, he can be compared with "Magic" Johnson. This kind of passing from the flash of inspiration on the basketball court is his foothold in the NBA. Therefore, even though he is old, there is still the element of pursuit of gorgeousness in his bones. I saw him facing Telfair's defense, with his left hand holding the ball around the back, as if he was going to make a back pass, Telfair Er saw that Haslem was advancing on the right side, and rushed to defend Haslem. Gomez on the left was defending Davis while observing the actions of Jason Williams. There were no players in the distance. Blocking his sight, he saw that Haslem, who should have received the ball, did not receive the ball. He secretly thought that he would suffer, and hurried to the middle to defend against Jason Williams. However, when he approached the middle, An orange spherical object flew past his eyes at such a speed that he had no time to react, although he already knew what it was without guessing
Davis received the pass from "White Chocolate", glanced at McCants who was still two steps away from him, smiled triumphantly, and easily made a three-pointer
The audience was boiling. From "The Flash" Wade's hat to the Timberwolves power forward, to "White Chocolate" Jason Williams playing the entire Timberwolves defense, it can be called the top ten ball list!
The commentary seat on the sidelines was not calm anymore, and the commentator kept yelling: "Unbelievable! Unbelievable! Jason played the entire Timberwolves defense line with a realistic behind-the-back pass fake! He first circled the back with the ball in his left hand, Looks like a pass to the right, but the ball doesn't go, and he flicks it to the left with his right hand! God, unbelievable!"

Timberwolves head coach Whitman's forehead dripped with sweat. Only 1 minute after the second half, the Timberwolves were hit by the Heat in a 9-0 spurt. He quickly signaled the referee: Timberwolves request a timeout!
Whitman also wanted to replace Zheng Ke to play the game, but there is no NBA head coach who replaces another player after only one minute of playing the main force, unless the main player is injured.He didn't want his disciples to have any opinions or complaints about him, and from the perspective of the field, he couldn't point out which player performed poorly, so he abruptly suppressed the idea of ​​replacing Zheng Ke on the field, in his opinion The Timberwolves are a young guard. Most of the young people in the team have just stepped into the society from school. What they need is encouragement rather than negation, so instead of criticizing the performance of the players, he encouraged the players to be Team up and give it to Jefferson to end the game as much as possible.
Whitman's encouragement still had an effect. From Zheng Ke's point of view, the Timberwolves players were a little impetuous after being beaten 9-0, but after this timeout, they calmed down again and came back from the timeout Afterwards, he played very patiently on the first attack on the field. He knew that McCants had an unguarded three-pointer opportunity before he chose the first shot. McCants was also relentless and slashed. Down three points.
The Timberwolves opened, and Wade's unstoppable performance continued. Just like the 06 finals that blasted all the outside lines of the Mavericks, Wade showed off his super offensive weapons, except of course the three-pointer weapon that is still under development. Throughout the third quarter, Wade was completely a Jordan who was 5 centimeters shorter!No one can guard against him, and neither can Zheng Ke. Zheng Ke replaced Gomez in the second half of the third quarter. Facing the bursting Wade, Zheng Ke was also powerless. This lightning-like first step, this This kind of layup that can be thrown even if the person is completely out of balance in the air is an eye-opener for Zheng Ke. If these performances are not based on him, he will definitely appreciate Wade's performance, but now, he is very depressed.
After the third quarter, the Timberwolves were already behind by nearly 66 points with 85 to 20 points.
The commentary on the sidelines said excitedly: "This is an individual exhibition game. Wade's performance is unbelievable. It seems that he is in very good condition. I hope that the Heat's record will improve in the next game. Rediscovering their East powerhouse style”

The strength of this Timberwolves team lies in Jefferson, the inside core, but his performance was limited in this game. Haslem, a short power forward from the Heat, completed the task of defending Jefferson well in the second half. Jefferson was a little uncomfortable with Zhong's desperate Saburo's defense. He muttered to himself: "I have no grudge against you, why bother?"

Jefferson couldn't open this point, which led to the poor operation of the Timberwolves team. Both offense and defense felt out of joint. This is one of the reasons why the Timberwolves fell behind by a large score.

In the end, the Heat beat the visiting Timberwolves 109-88 at home. Wade played 35 minutes and scored 37 points. Jefferson grabbed a game-high 17 rebounds. Telfair contributed a game-high 6 Haslem got 3 steals, all of which were given to Jefferson.
Whitman had nothing to say about the results of the game. He said in an interview after the game: "Here is the NBA. You know, a team always has a good or bad state. Today my players performed well, but The Heat play more aggressively, and they're one of the best teams in the league when they're not hurting."

Perhaps the friendly and harmonious atmosphere in the game extended to the off-court. The head coach of the Heat, Pat Riley, was also full of praise for the young Timberwolves, especially when facing the Chinese media, he said: "The Timberwolves China's Zheng performed well, he is a very talented player, his progress is obvious to all, yes, from the perspective of a head coach, I really like this kind of hardworking player."

The NBA is like this. There are victories and losses. Zheng Ke feels that since he came to the NBA, what he has learned the most is to face all kinds of failures calmly. The game was unfavorable, and he felt that his nerves had become thicker
Zheng Ke is like this, not to mention the other Timberwolves players, they were really a little depressed at the end of the game just now, all of them stopped talking, even the reporters were listless when they came to the locker room for interviews, all of them were like frostbite They are like eggplants, with their heads drooping, but it didn’t take long before their true nature was exposed. These are young people. What is the biggest advantage of young people, that is, being positive and optimistic. After boarding the plane, after chatting with each other for a while , the dreary atmosphere was swept away immediately, the players became energetic, and there was a burst of laughter and noise from the plane from time to time.
(PS: Gomez in the previous chapters was written as Gosman, and today I found out that I have been typing the wrong name all the time, ashamed...)
